i dont know if you stated it already ............but how long has this tank been running and how long after the initial start up did you start adding stock {of anykind}??

it really almost sounds to me like the tank didn't cycle fully and you've been fighting that all along .....................if you can afford the redsea max right now or even a petsmart 55 gallon cheapo..............set it up and cycle it with sand, a couple HOB throw away filters and transfer the most you dare out of the 100 for a few weeks and let the 100 cycle correctly - - - do you have anyone close that could "babysit" some of the larger fish so you don't have to get rid of them perminantly? I don't think your stock is to much....it just sounds like the tank can't catch up with it .........even with this eco thing i would try to lighten the load in there for a few weeks ........just a thought...............

They phyto feast is killing you. I use it once a week....and i only dose a small portion. I turn off my skimmer for a few hours....and dose it in. Its just long enough for my rotifiers to survive and flourish. Too much of this stuff will put an insane amount of nutrients in your tank. My lfs doesnt feed the tank but once a week. Hes got a 125 that he feeds just the fish once a week. No other additives besides calcium and alkalinity. He has some of the most gorgeous corals and sps with insane grow rates. When the fish crap....they feed the corals. You dont really need all the other stuff. I use phytofeast to make the rotifiers grow to feed my scooter blenny.....which is really a dragonette..which I didnt know until AFTER I bought him. Anyways, cut back on the phytofeast a little bit and just kick back and wait. I am still having algae blooms......10 months after set up, and I only feed twice a week.
